| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan - Gen 13:14-15.
The lot of your inheritance - Or, that shall be the lot of your inheritance; or, what you shall inherit. The margin is, "the cord." The Hebrew word - חבל chebel - means properly a cord, a rope; and then, a measuring-line. Hence, it means a portion "measured out" and assigned to anyone as land, Jos 17:14; Jos 19:9. Compare Psa 16:6. The meaning is, that the land of Canaan was given by promise to the patriarchs as their lot or portion of the earth; as that which they and their descendants were to possess as their own. |

14 And the children [01121] of Joseph [03130] spake [01696] unto Joshua [03091], saying [0559], Why hast thou given [05414] me but one [0259] lot [01486] and one [0259] portion [02256] to inherit [05159], seeing I am a great [07227] people [05971], forasmuch as [05704] the LORD [03068] hath blessed [01288] me hitherto [03541]?
14 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Abram [087], after [0310] that Lot [03876] was separated [06504] from him, Lift up [05375] now thine eyes [05869], and look [07200] from the place [04725] where thou art northward [06828], and southward [05045], and eastward [06924], and westward [03220]:
15 For all the land [0776] which thou seest [07200], to thee will I give it [05414], and to thy seed [02233] for [05704] ever [05769].
